      Thanks John!  I did 3 rounds of biochem last fall.  Mixed response, terrible side effects (blood counts, etc).  I have my rad onc appt. today and we'll get started as soon as possible.  Fri or Mon I guess.  I should be able to start Temodar today.  I feel pretty comfortable with then plan.  We've looked at Avastin and it's on the backburner as a possibility if the Tem. doesn't seem effective.  I know MDA is doing an ipi / Temodar trial but I haven't looked into that yet.  I'll keep it in mind.  Luckily I responded very well to the intrathecial IL2 so hopefully the spinal fluid will stay clear and I won't see much progression.

      I'll be keeping you all posted!

      Love,

      Amy
